I never thought I'd cancel YouTube Premium (I like the Ad Free-ness, and YouTube Music is alright). But this is such a sharp price increase that I'm seriously evaluating it. My price increase was proportionally even larger than OP's, I'm going from $14.99 to $22.99, or a 45% jump. I was getting $14.99 in value out of it, and I may have ignored a jump to $17.99 but that $22.99 price is what I am paying for two other streaming services. Plus, frankly, other streaming services are using my money to make original programming, whereas YouTube's content is supplied by [mostly] small creators to YouTube, and Google is paying a pittance in ad revenue (YT Premium or otherwise). They're also doing this when food and other bills are also spiking, putting a giant target on their back as something that we may not REALLY need. Seems like corporations read about all this "10% inflation" talk then decided that they needed 20-30-40% price increase to "get theirs."
